Leadwork in Bletchley
Lead welding is our speciality across Bletchley — hand-formed flashings, valleys and bay roofs to LSA guidance. MK2 and MK3 are dominated by 1950s-70s concrete-tile roofs now at reroof age — original Marley Ludlow and Redland Stonewold are the common tiles we're replacing.

Local context — leadwork in Bletchley
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Bletchley. Bletchley's post-war housing was built to Milton Keynes Development Corporation specs with tight tolerances on original truss spacing — we survey structural adequacy before quoting full reroofs, as some HP2 spec substitutions won't fit. We work to Lead Sheet Association guidance on every job — code 4 for cover flashings, code 5 for valleys and abutments, code 6+ for bay and dormer roofs — and we weld on site rather than relying on mastic.
We work across MK2, MK3 with easy access from A5 and A421.

Frequently asked — Leadwork in Bletchley
Why does my chimney flashing leak?+
Most leaks on Bletchley chimneys come from old mortar fillets, fatigued lead or missing soakers — not the bricks. Properly dressed and welded code 4 or 5 lead is the fix.
Do you weld lead on site?+
Yes — full on-site lead welding for bay roofs, dormers, box gutters and bespoke flashings across Bletchley. It's a traditional craft and our biggest USP.
What code of lead do you use?+
Code 4 for most flashings, Code 5 for valleys and abutments, Code 6+ for bay/dormer roofs. We use the right code for the job — no shortcuts.
Will lead patina match my existing flashings?+
Fresh lead weathers to match within 12-18 months. We can apply patination oil at install to speed up the colour match and prevent white carbonate staining.
How long does properly installed lead last?+
100+ years for sheet lead used correctly. Most leaks we fix in MK2/MK3 are mortar-fillet failures or substituted "lead-look" tape — not the lead itself.
